I tried a breakfast sandwich one day which hit the spot. Would definitely come here again and recommend it highly - some unique drinks on offer as well.

The food and coffee was delicious, very happy with that. The atmosphere was fine except that all of…read morethe tables were obviously dirty and the self serve coffee was at its last drip. One of the young girls working there was too busy eating French fries to attend to the place. I get being hungry while working but at least hide it. It looked so unprofessional especially while there was so much that needed to be attended to. Also the appearance from the outside makes the place look sketchy and like it's possibly closed so it could use some updating, some eye catching signage or liveliness in general. The menu, coffee selection, whoever is cooking, phenomenal job. I would go back.

Sam was apologetic and made me a lightly toasted whole wheat everything with hummus. It was delicious. The bagel was that ideal combination of crisp on the outside and chewy within. Sidenote: I'm actually happy that the vegan cream cheese had run out -- it suggests that it is in demand, which makes this animal rights/welfare advocate hopeful. :)

I got home and opened the bag and to my dismay, four out of 12 bagels were everything including massive amounts of garlic and onion. If I could give them a zero, I would because allergies need to be taken seriously The "OPEN" sign was off, no cars in the lot, BUT I approached the entrance. It is open. I let the staff know but she didn't seem eager to walk over to turn it on. My order; a dozen ( no blueberry, onion or garlic products), a 1/2 lb of Pastrami, Turkey, and Swiss. Seems like they are short-staffed. Or they n laid-back mode. There are now three additional patrons. TIP: kosher NO PORK PRODUCTS. Don't ASK.

Everyone behind the counter greets you with genuine warmth during the morning rush. The pastries are always fresh and worth the wait, but the real star of the show? Their wonderfully large cup of coffee. It's the kind that wakes you up, comforts you, and pairs perfectly with anything you grab from the bakery case. Whether you're stopping by before work or treating yourself on a slow weekend morning, Kelly's delivers every time. Great service, great coffee, and a neighborhood feel that makes you want to return again and again.

We were fortunate and found parking right in front. It wasn't a busy morning despite being a Saturday and the interior was simple yet inviting and clean. There was also very limited seating inside so it's best to take it to go. The staff were very pleasant. The bacon, egg and cheese stuffed bagel was pretty good! It's such a fun idea and is less messy than a typical BEC. The only real critique is that the bagel was a little doughy toward the end, but otherwise, very delicious!

They may also have live music sometimes. Prices are good, although the portions are on the smaller side. They have a lot of bread options, so it's a nice place if you're a smaller eater. The food was generally good: Iced Matcha Latte -- 2/5 Iced Coffee -- 4/5 Classic Turkey -- 4/5 Yogurt -- 4/5 The B.E.A.S.T. -- 5/5 The place looks clean at first, but looking closer, I noticed quite a few flies and some dust on the floor, which took away from the experience.
